In addition, UAB (and probably MSU as well) will be more run-oriented, so I would expect this to be a fairly quick, relatively lower scoring game. But again, having little idea what to expect from our team, MSU could score 40pts on us... I just kind of doubt it. In fact, I kind of even doubt MSU scores 30. I think both MSU and UAB will score 30pts or less.

Run oriented, but our QB has an above average arm, might be a better passer than Stanton, and Stanton was a hell of a passer.
